MFC-J415W what a lousy buy, 2 days and the printer is not commissioned, used all my knowledge but driver installation fails each time. Ive used the disk that came with it i've used the Internet I've uses dectective Driver search all to no avail rather all to damwell fail. Brother has a resposibility to set up there printers better than this I dont feel like paying for info that should not be necessary. Installation should be a snack. I own seven printers and this is the last Brother I will buy unless I am proven to be dumbkin regarding the matter at hand When I plug the USB cord ina and turn on the 415 as instructed all goes well except the program tries tnstall the driver twice once in the middle okay and the one other try at the end fails???
Optional Information: Make: Brother Model: MFC-J415W Already Tried: Everything believe me that should need to be tried. Brother solutions Disk THat came with Printer The internet to download drivers Driver dtective etc etc Bleeding waste of time think I will scrap THe Printer and Brother Not impressed

Anyway I went to intstall a local printer and the Brother is there with a Error triangle
Saying it needs to be subject to trouble shooting ( been There Before) I did the troublshoot and the reply was no driver installed (I KNOW( THaT's THE POINT))
How does one get the driver installed correctly PS You cannot add a USB printer though this section IT tells you it will be installed automatically when usb is plugged in.
It tries and fails when I plug in the USB lead thats where we started from.
USB Cord is okay I moved a working Printer from that line to install the troublesome
MFC-J415W that I am having driver installation trouble with
John C I followed you direction with the following results
A. Printer driver was not installed operation could not be completed (error) 0x00000002
Tried again and got error 0x80240024
That's weird. Have you tried selecting Brother, and then selecting MFC-J415W ?
Of Course thats how the program started to install a Brother MFC-J415W until it could go no further with the error reports a detailed to you.
John C I am quite compter literate through expreience only and it is wierd, neve seen anything like it, have to give the quest to correct away for tonight, bed time in Australia
Catch up with you tomorrow, you might have a solution by then although I think I have to go back to the Manufacturer the thing I dont get is when I set up install by pulling the USB Cord all goes fine but the program tries to install the driver twice once okay the second fails device driver says working okay. But no driver installed.and no it does not work
OK, but I meant following the steps below (with Windows Update):1- Click Start2- Click "Devices and Printers"3- Click "Add a printer"4- Click "Add a local printer"5- Select USB and click Next6- Click the "WINDOWS UPDATE" Button and wait for the updates to be downloaded7- Click BROTHER on the left8- Scroll down and select "Brother MFC-J415W" (Or J400 Series)9- Click Next 10- Click Next11- You will get the "Installing printer" message. Please wait12- Click Next13- Click Finish14- Wait 2 minutes and try to print.15- Does it work?
No Message printer driver could not be installed error 0x00000002
